"Mystery and magic, pain and healing, love and regret, beauty and horror, music and dancing, fire and hail...Open your heart, spirit and senses to this story of the ties that bind us, the blood that connects us, skin that shouldn't define us, and the truth that sets us free."
                                ~Lisa Adler, Co-Artistic/Producing Director

One thing I did not expect from my involvement with every tongue confess was my nebulous role as dramaturg (in rehearsal) and mic board operator (for the performance run). Witnessing the brilliance of the cast, Tom Jones and S. Renee Clark in rehearsal was a treasure. Seeing how Jones and Clark worked in the rehearsal space was invaluable. I not only saw first hand how incredible these two individuals are at what they do, but also the freedom they gave the creative team to make the magic realism of this piece happen.

Watching the growth of this production, however, is an amazing adventure. I have a wonderful dilemma because I am not only part of the crew, but I am also an audience member. Each night, the cast surprises me with the moment-to-moment lives of their characters. These surprises occur in a myriad of ways--i.e. scenes, musical numbers, and even transitions. I am extremely proud of the cast and creative team.

It is my pleasure to note that Horizon's production of every tongue confess has a couple rave reviews and is Suzi recommended. For more information, read the following articles below.
